Ciao!
In this episode we'll look at the adjective "bello", "beautiful", and how the endings follow the pattern of the specific article!
:)
...
"bello" comes before the noun (it's "on the list"), and follows the pattern of the specific article. (il,lo,la,l' - i,gli,le).
Ex:
il giorno - il bel giorno
lo zio - il bello zio
l'amico - il bell'amico
la donna - la bella donna
l'anima - la bell'anima
i libri - i bei libri
gli alberi - i begli alberi
le cattedrali - le belle cattedrali
Try:
the beautiful book
the beautiful sister
the beautiful studio
the beautiful tree
the beautiful appartments
the beautiful boys/guys
the beautiful girls
the beautiful sports
Sentences:
We have beautiful weather
We have beautiful days
They have a beautiful studio
You (plural) have beautiful apartments
Note!
If "bello" is after the noun, f.ex. with a modifier - it follows the standard ending: "bello", "bella", "belli", "belle".
Try:
the very beautiful book
the very beautiful studio
the very beautiful appartments
the very beautiful houses
Sum up:
"bello" - when in front, endings follow pattern of specific articles, both sing./plural.
When after; standard endings.
Excellent work!
